Otto Road Shooting Range vs Pawnee Sportsman's Center?

[mpatch]

I am equidistant from both and trying to decide where to get a membership.
As far as I know those are the only two place in the NOCO area that have longer ranges.

I shoot @ both for competition & like both long ranges for different reasons. Excellent wind training opportunities at each though Otto has more terrain to consider/factor imo.

I prefer Otto for the long range training. Natural hills & man-made berms, north/south orientation with decent infrastructure & shelter from the sun & I dont think it's limited for use to just competition days. Naturally, long range is not open to members on comp days but I believe that's just a day or two a month.

On the flip side, you might want to check with Pawnee about using anything past cowboy town for recreation. I'm not sure that long range is open unless there is a competition. Ive never been other than for a match so I'm not as familiar with any other ranges there. Big diagonal bowl in the middle makes it a challenge to call misses because there's no backstop which is great for comps but can be a singular lesson in frustration for even the most experienced shooters.

Amenities & berm orientation are different too @ each so it depends on what you're looking for as a total package.

Before deciding its worth checking out both, or either if you haven't been.

The long range steel is open to members IIRC, anytime (during the day. Open to gen pop normal non-member days.

I heard something different last time I was there a few months ago. Perhaps I misunderstood
